When I was selecting the packages during the install I was not careful in going through all the options for each package group, and I had installed both bind and caching-nameserver. These two packages appear to conflict with each other. It was necessary to yum remove caching-nameserver (or not install it in the first place). Then when the system is running after install, I needed to yum install system-config-bind, and run that. This sets up in initial set of files for running "named", and includes named.conf which can then be edited to suit. Once done then "service named start" works fine. In addition dhcp was not installed by default (maybe I missed something when doing the package selection!) so I need to yum install dhcp also. Mike
